 |  Android Q+ May Use the Vulkan Graphics API to Render the UI XDA has uncovered evidence that future versions of Android may rely on the Vulkan Graphics API to render the user interface. This follows the company adding an OpenGL hardware-accelerated backend to Android's 2D graphics engine, Skia, which is also utilized by Chrome and Chrome OS. Users may expect a reduction in frame rendering times due to a cutdown on processing done by the CPU. The evidence for this comes from a comment submitted by a Google engineer on the open source Chromium Gerrit. The comment is in reference to a bug report on the upcoming implementation of the Vulkan Graphics API for the Google Chrome browser on Android. The comment states that, sometime in the future, "there will be a requirement" to have Vulkan API support for the Android WebView when the "[Android] framework is going to start using Vulkan for HWUI." http://www.hardocp.com/news/2018/07/..._to_render_ui/ |
